This next time around promises to be even better. I was sooo impressed with all that my students did and can't wait to do this project again.

It was a real struggle for her so I was very proud of what she accomplished!

"Surf's Up"- My favorite thing about this one is that it was created by a student who really struggled with translating what she was visualizing into the grapher.

Share the graph on Drive for your classmates and teacher to see.

All the time given in class for this project must be used.

Work must not be similar to a classmate's.

Some areas of the artwork must be shaded using inequalities.

Use all four conic sections in the artwork.

Artwork does no have to be original (it could be a comic book character/ famous landmark/ logo) as long as it is not a copy of art already on Desmos.

My students were impressed and inspired by the amazing work others have done on Desmos and quickly set about to create their own with a few guidelines: So for a concluding project for both the semester and our chapter on conic sections, we used math equations in Desmos to design and create art. However, there is so much more that one can do with Desmos. Its sliders feature alone is worth its weight in gold to a math teacher and students! So on to how we use it in my math classes, and more specifically for a recent project.ĭesmos is a great way for students to explore how changing parameters in an equation changes the graph.

You can't possibly walk away from it without being impressed with the fact that graphing can be cool- really cool! If you haven't ever tried Desmos, go check it out now.
